What they're looking for
- 10+ years of industry experience, including several years as the technical lead or architect of large-scale integrations, distributed systems, or data intensive products in production
- Hands-on experience building systems where agents or automated workflows take action, such as agent tool calling, MCP, workflow automation, or iPaaS-style action layers
- A track record of setting technical direction for systems that outlived your involvement: platforms other teams built on, standards they adopted, and architecture decisions you can defend years later
- Experience building for enterprise customers, where security, access control, compliance and data governance are central to the design
- Proven ability to influence beyond your own team. You can align engineering, Product and customers on hard tradeoffs without formal authority
- A strong, well-earned point of view on data modeling, infrastructure and API design, backed by systems you’ve built, operated and evolved
